Uri, Speed of input is not always an important factor. Often *ease of use* is the most important factor and "pointing and clicking" with a mouse can be more intuitive/easy that using a keyboard. Usually, a good interface will support both novice and expert users. So, using a mouse should be supported. Also, sometimes desk space can be limited - allowing space for a mouse, but not a keyboard. Finally, how much faster can you input moves using the keyboard compared to someone using the mouse? I think the difference - if any - will hardly matter. I may be wrong, but I think most bullet chess players use a mouse to make moves. Gordon >Unfortunately it seems that chessbase does not care about the customers but only >about making money. > >Uri
